Lyrics Graveyard Blues (Remastered 2024) - John Lee Hooker

You know, they tell me the graveyard, grave-
Graveyard is a low-down, dirty place
You know, they tell me the graveyard
Graveyard is a low-down, dirty place
They takin' my baby to the graveyard
They packed dirt in her face
I followed that long black wagon
Long black wagon down to the graveyard
Watched them pack dirt in my baby's face
I followed that long black wagon to the graveyard
Watched them pack dirt in my baby's face
Mr
Graveyard Digger, why you want to take my baby away?
I waved bye, bye, bye at my baby when
They was lettin' her down in the grave
Yes, I did
Lettin' her down, lettin' her down in her grave
I'm gonna bring you them flowers, baby, bring
You them flowers on every Decoration Day, baby
Gonna decorate your grave, baby, on every Decoration Day
Mmm
Poor me, poor me, poor me
Mmm
Poor me
Poor, poor me
Poor me
I ain't got nobody, baby
I ain't got nobody, baby
All I got in the world have passed away
My baby gone, have passed away
Have passed away
I'll be here, baby
Every Decoration Day
